Mr.. JOHN BRADLEY, ST., an old
citizen of GAINESVILLE, was badly
beaten with hickory stick and
knocked senseless by cowardly
brute of negro last Saturday even
ing. The negro had been, few days
before, discharged for drunkenness,
and there was small balance due
him, which Bradley refused to pay
him until pay day arrived according
to contract. The negro slipped up
behind Bradley and struck him on
the head with a stick larger than a
mans arm, knocking him down, and
beating him after he was down, and
seriously, but fortunately not fatally
wounding him. That he was not IA
tally wounded is not the negro's
fault. He evidently intended to
murder Bradley, but an old negro
who was working at the brickyard,
came to Bradley's rescue and the
would-be murderer took to his heels.
Bradley is very fortunate in not
having had his skull crushed, as the
stick used was formidable weapon.
Officers went in immediate pursuit Of
the assailant.

The late Prof. ]. A. TAFT.

The death of Prof. j. A. TAFT, de-
serves something more than a mere
passing notice. We do not wish to
IndulgeiE ftllsome euology of Mr..
TAFT, for he had his faults like every
body else, and was not perfect, but
according to the ordinary acceptation
of the term he was very good citi-
zen. Kind, benevolent, public-sprit-
ed, moral, Industrious, humane and
benevolent, his voice, h;;s example
and his influence was always exerted
on theslde of religion and virtue.
He was an intelligent and upright
Christian GENTLEMAN, of unspotted
morals, and exceedingly amiabl dis
position. He was a good husband
and father, and cherished, with a
sacred and chivalric devotion, his
love for his wife and family. And
above all, and as a guaranty of the
genuieneness of all, of these qualities,
he was an humble follower and imi-
tator of lowiy Nazarine with whom,
beyond the possibility of care and
sorrow, he is now undoubtedly at
rest, waiting to belrejoined above by
those from whom it must have been
his keanest pang to be separated
here on EARTH May they be reunit-
ed, to a happy family in heaven, in
the years to come.

very agreeable, In short everybody
capable Of approaching a refined and

The resources Of the "South" are

The Paducah Land, Coal and Iron
Company, which was brought into
existence by the energy and foresight
of our worthy citizen III. III. Tharpe
and our neighbor V. r. Harris, of
Erin, Tenn, is now occupying po-

cess and bring large profits to its
stockholders.
The $2OO,000 of stock which was
placed on the market at ten cents has
all been,taken, thereby realizing tothe
Company 5000, 600 of capital which is
invested In about twelve hundred
lots In and adjacent 10 the city of
Paducah, besides thousands of acres
of iron lands-which from our infor-
nation can not be surpassed by auy
in the world.
Parties have organized for the pur-
pose of putting at once in process OF
construction, a large furnace on the
hand of this company. Other enter
prises for manufacturing will spendi-
ly grow out of this, and these with
the two railroads now in process Of
construction to Paducah, will indeed
makeher worthy the name which she
has assumed, viz: "The Gate way
of the South" Paducah's success is
assured fact and to no two men does
she owe more tnan to those we have
